"This is how it displaced and
discredited the earlier theory of Mosaic authorship even at a time
   when scholars did not have the archaeological insights that we 
  have today and which inform us how totally incompatible the Mosaic
   authorship theory with our modern knowledge of archaeology and
   linguistics."
   
       This is a long  and ailing sentence which suffers from syntactical 
  problems, and more seriously, from thematic ones.
   
       Anyone with the slightests familiarity with archaeology  understands
  that it can not be  "compatible' or "incompatibale" with a literary text. A
  literary text does not require any "proof". Much was written about the
  subject, but it is not within the scope of this list.
   
     
      And moreover, the well known dictum: "Absence of Evidence, is
  not Evidence of Absence" should always give one pause about 
  matters which did, or did not happen over three thousand years ago.
  
     
      It was pointed out already, the historicity of Moses and matters of
  faith are also outside the scope of this list.

Dear John,



As you well know, membership in this list is not limited to those with 
academic (or other) credentials. This list is open to anyone who is 
interested in learning and discussing a wide range of issues pertaining to 
the language of the Hebrew Bible. A basic precondition for such a discussion 
is that of open-ness and non-obscurity. For this purpose, it is important 
that each participant know whom it is that he or she is discussing with or 
learning from. At the very least, knowing the name of the person which whom 
one is conversing makes the conversation all that more pleasant. For this 
reason, all posters are required to sign their posts.





Yigal Levin





p.s. Since your name is in your email identifier,  would have probably let 
your "infraction" slide without comment, but since the post to which you 
were replying was totally anonymous, I felt in necessary to butt in.
